FIGURES AND FIDDLES: Interestingly, according to nme.com, Aloud flogged 112,000 and not 85,000 tickets (the number quoted in reports of the original sell-out) for Glastonbury. Anyway, now Eavis has made a bad situation a lot worse by announcing that they're clawing back tickets from people flogging them on Ebay and are going to pass them onto "more deserving people" who will reveal themselves by, erm, getting in touch and saying they're more deserving.
And who will probably turn up to sell them on outside the festival site.
Since one of the biggest problems last year was people without tickets roaming Pilton looking for tickets, is it really advisable to try and close down a system that could have taken a lot of the pressure off face-to-face touting?
